Listening caution

EST. 1924

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries

Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion–and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level

BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

¡ Start your volume control at a low setting.

¡ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

¡ Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.

CAUTION:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the

FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

¡ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

¡ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

¡ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

¡ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user’s authority to operate this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

PRECAUTIONS

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.

Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Safety

1. Power Source — The unit should be connected to power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization — If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection — AC power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuse Periods — When the unit is not used, turn the power off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Installation

Environment

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure below.

1. Ventilation — The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow

10 cm (4") clearance from the rear of the unit.

2. Foreign Material — Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

3. Magnetism — The unit should be situated away from equipment or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

4. Stacking — Do not place heavy objects, other than system components, on top of the unit.

5. Surface — Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

6. Carts and Stands — The unit should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

The unit and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The unit should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling, unless specified in this operating instructions.

Maintenance

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Service

1. Damage Requiring Service — The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

(b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or

(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or

(d) The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

(e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

Customizing your receiver

Change the settings to suit your speakers and equipment and to suit the environment in which the unit is to be used. Before making any changes, read the following descriptions, note the factory settings and ranges, and refer to the instructions for the speakers and equipment.

The settings remain intact until they are changed, even after the power is turned off.

Setting descriptions

SIZE

Change to suit the speakers you have connected.

LARGE: For speakers that can reproduce a full sound range, particularly the bass range below 100 Hz.

SMALL: For speakers that cannot adequately reproduce the bass range. This setting is sufficient for most speakers if you are using a subwoofer.

NONE: For speakers you haven’t connected (center or surround).

The factory settings are: Front: LARGE

Center and surround: SMALL

For the subwoofer, select YES if you have connected one (factory setting), or NO if you have not.

DISTANCE

Enter the distance of the speakers from the seating position so that the sound from all the speakers (except for the subwoofer) reaches you at the same time.

You can select distances between 3 and 30 feet at one-foot intervals.

The factory settings are: Front and center: 10 FEET

COAX OPT1 OPT2

FILTER

This setting allows you to change the cut-off for bass output from the front speakers. If you set the front speakers to “SMALL”, the filter is set to 100 Hz. Raise the cut-off if the bass from the front speakers is unsatisfactory so that this bass is output through the subwoofer.

You can raise the cut-off from 100 Hz to either 150 Hz or 200 Hz.

DR COMP - Dynamic range compression

Change this setting to listen to software at low volume (such as late at night) and maintain audio clarity. This setting works with Dolby

Digital software. It reduces the peak level in loud scenes without affecting the sound field.

OFF: The software is played with the original dynamic range

(factory setting).

STANDARD: The level recommended by the producer of the software for household viewing.

MAX: The maximum allowable compression (recommended for night viewing).

D-INPUT - Digital input

Change these settings to suit the connections you have made to the three digital input terminals, COAX, OPT1, and OPT2 ( \ page 7), so that the correct source is selected when you turn [INPUT

SELECTOR] ( \ page 18).

The factory settings are: CD: COAX

DVD: OPT2

TV: OPT1

DIMMER

This setting allows you to dim the unit’s display (and turn off the

MOS-FET light on SA-DX1050) for better viewing in a darkened room.

The factory setting is OFF (normal brightness).

DSP sound modes

The digital sound processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby

Digital and DTS digital signals. It automatically determines the type of signal, PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS, and processes it accordingly.

The DSP can add surround-like effects to stereo sources (analog or

PCM signals).

Choose from the STEREO, SURROUND, or SFC modes.

The DSP may interfere with radio reception. You can turn it off if this occurs ( \ page 22).

Output is in stereo when you turn the DSP off so sound is only heard through the front speakers.

Note

¡ PCM with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz is the digital signal format normally found on CDs. Some DVDs also use this format but often with a higher sampling rate.

¡ This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as

PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and 192 kHz and MPEG.

A

STEREO mode

Use this mode to play digital or analog stereo sources or to play surround sources through two speakers. When surround sources are played in this mode, the sounds intended for the other speaker channels are played through the front speakers.

B

SURROUND mode

Select this mode when you are playing a digital surround source

(Dolby Digital or DTS) or an analog source that is recorded with

Dolby Surround (VCR, for example).

C Changing the recognition mode

In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital signals on discs. With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the beginning of a track to be cut off. Engage the PCM FIX mode if this occurs. With DTS, the signals may not be recognized at all. Engage the DTS FIX mode if this occurs.

This mode does not need to be changed under normal circumstances. Change it only if the unit appears to be having trouble recognizing the software you are playing.

While the input source is selected and digital input is engaged:

Press and hold [DIGITAL INPUT].

The current mode is displayed. Press again to change the mode.

Each time you press the button:

AUTO / PCM FIX / DTS FIX

↑

When a FIX mode is on, the unit cannot process other signals. This may cause noise to be output. Select “AUTO” if this occurs.

The selected mode is stored even if the unit is turned off.
